Preloved Vintage Mid-Century Real Cowhide Travel Valet & Manicure Kit – Made in England
Description: A beautiful piece of mid-century travel history: a vintage 2-in-1 gentleman's travel valet clothes brush and integrated manicure grooming kit.
Manufactured in England during the 1950s or 1960s, this clever space-saving design is a perfect example of functional, high-quality vintage travel gear.
The base features a sturdy wooden clothes brush with clean, dual-toned (black and white) nylon bristles, perfect for brushing lint or dust off suits and coats. The top handle of the brush doubles as a premium, rich tan Real Cowhide leather zippered pouch.
When unzipped, the interior reveals its original, vintage metal grooming set safely tucked away into built-in leather loops.
What’s Included Inside: Vintage grooming scissors, metal nail file, dual-ended cuticle pusher/manicure tool.
It measures 17.7cm x 5.5cm, with a height of 6.3cm.
Condition:
Leather & Wood: Good vintage condition. The genuine cowhide leather has aged beautifully with minor scuffs consistent with age, and the gold lettering ("REAL COWHIDE / MADE IN ENGLAND") is clear and legible.
The metal zipper operates smoothly.
Bristles: Strong, intact, and firmly set into the wooden block.
Tools: Original metal implements are included. They show some minor, authentic vintage patina/aging on the metal surface, which adds to the historical character of the piece but could be polished up if desired.
Perfect for collectors of vintage tobaccoriana, mid-century vanity items, militaria/travel gear, or anyone who appreciates classic English craftsmanship!
